Yakubu urged registered voters to check the IReV portal in the next two hours to see the results of the mock election from all three states.
According to him, security agencies have given assurances of adequate security on election day.
"Well, so far, so good in terms of assurance from the security agencies, as we can see; they're even here for the mock election, and next Friday, there is going to be a high-level meeting in Abuja, chaired by myself and the National Security Adviser, in which all the security chiefs will be present to discuss the issue of security for the three states," he said.
